life updates: 91.8 the fan interview, ohayocon, youtube channel!

Big updates are coming in the next few days!

91.8 The Fan

I had an interview with the wonderful peeps from 91.8 The Fan today! It is a great online radio station that has anime and j-pop/rock music playing all the time, and great interviews from the fancies of the anime community including voice actors and big-name cosplayers. It’s worth a listen! Or two, or three!

The interview aired live at 2pm, and will be accessible from their site in the next few days! I had a really fun time, and got to speak a bit about how I got into cosplay, and all my various projects going on right now.

Ohayocon 2010

Here we come! I will be at Ohayocon this year so if you see me make sure to come up and say hello! I will be debuting two new costumes, a Hikaru from MKR, and Blind Mag from REPO: the generic opera. Actually, these are not new at all! I had epic dreams of giant costumes completed for Ohayocon, but duty called and I just had too much work to do! Hikaru and Blind Mage have been sitting 95% complete in the back of my closet for well over half a year now so I dragged them out and took an evening to fix them up!! Wooo!! So they feel old to me, but are new to the rest of the world! XD Will anyone else from Repo or MKR going to be there?

YouTube Channel – Tutorials!!

By tomorrow you will get to log onto youtube and view limebarb.com’s very first cosplay tutorial on our youtube channel! We worked very hard to make a really proffessional (and hopefully funny!) video series for you guys. If you like it please leave us nice comments so we can be inspired to make more!!

NEW PHOTOSHOOT! Suu from Clover

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 08:31:25 +0000

Finally got pics of my Suu costume up and running that were taken FOOOOOOOREVER ago! *,* Tell me what ya think!

Everyone in this pic needs to eat a cheeseburger

There are a lot of skinny, luxuriously lanky characters in anime but don’t you think that the characters in Code Geass might be … too skinny? I feel pain for them when I look at their frail bodies, like the might snap in two they tripped over their own foot. I might even go as far as to say they look like they just got out of a concentration camp …. maybe. Wait, I just did say that. *,*

Does anyone feel like seeing images like this give them body image issues? I’m asking this seriously! I’m really curious about how images in anime affect how people preserve themselves and others.

NEW PHOTOSHOOT! Rogue – X-Men: Age of Apocalypse

admin — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:31:07 +0000

I am happy to share pics of one of my fave character ever! XD

new year, fresh starts, fresh … underwear?

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 23:32:54 +0000

Hey Guys! XD I am happy to be starting out the new year good! I am eating better, and kinda-sorta attempting to work out. *,* hehehehe …..

I also managed to get through my massive pile of laundry this week, wash, dryed, folded and put away. For anyone that knows me well I am notorious for massive piles of laundry! 5 loads this time! EEEK! I was running out of clothes. WORST OF ALL I was down to the dreaded underwear at the back of the drawer! The old, hole-filled that you would never want anyone to see you in, the ones you normally only wear on your worst PMS days (men please disregard that comment) … but I would wear it to not have to do laundry for one more day! :3

But no more of that! It’s out with the old, in with the new! Speaking of new we have just started a super awesome top-secret film project which we hope to launch in mere weeks. So stay tuned to here and lb.c for more information!

Until then here is a picture, please note the green screen!!
